Our friends Ingo and Ina live in Vienna and when they heard we were coming to Vienna they invited us to their home for dinner. We knew they were good cooks - but this was like a Michelin starred restaurant

I knew I was going to miss Trader Joe's when we arrived in Vienna. Trader Joe's has the best salad dressings (Goddess is my favorite). I knew we would find perfectly good salad dressing in Vienna. Or

"Order What You Want, Eat What You Get." Chris had said this to me before we left for Austria. And I didn't realize it might be something we would laugh about so soon! We have been cooking in our

I saw these fun colorful straws featured in the May 2010 issue of Brides and I loved them! I love using straws - and good ones are hard to find. I did find some big fat ones that are great for boba tea

Another recipe I found in Sunset Magazine (it is one of my favorite magazines!) and this one was sent in by Helen Newell of Pebble Beach, CA. It was featured in the August 2009 issue. It is so easy: Orzo

I love the Eating is Art Blog and the blogger Tricia is also an excellent photographer! I love taking photos of food and I love looking at photos of food! You know the photographer does a great job when

I am always looking for new chicken dinner ideas and earlier this year I was reading Sunset Magazine (the May issue) and I saw this recipe submitted by a reader (Christopher Hesterberg in Clinton, UT actually).
